Searched for atheist forums. First worthwhile hit; more investigation showed that there might be rational moderation and administration here. I have experienced a great deal of the non-rational kind, you see.

Well, if by rational you mean more like "hands off", yep... you have to stink like a cave troll (and a pyromaniacal one at that) before they start hosing.

That's fine; as long as there's a hose someplace, the mute button works great, once I found it. Can't have spammers and people posting firefox hack applets on the board. It wouldn't be usable.

I'd call it "benign neglect."

Ooops. You fell for it. The name is actually "Rationalias", as it alias for being rational. We've been meaning the change the sign.

It's true that there is one rational moderator...

The others are a little weird, though...

And has anybody used this line yet?

Dunno, is that why I ended up in the dog's house after the RDF debacle left me homeless?
